Roasted Leeks in Smashed Potatoes

Killer flavor combo - totally overshadowing the rather good braised short ribs in red wine and demi glace. The choppted leeks were quarted, sliced to 1/4" and roasted at 450F in a little salt and olive oil. These were incorporated into mashed potatoes with a touch of half and half, sea salt, and white pepper. Roasted leeks rule! Epic steakhouse dish waiting to happen here...
